**A Day at the Track: The Ups and Downs of Racing**

It was a day filled with excitement and frustration as I took my car to the track, determined to squeeze out a 10-second pass. As we arrived at the track, I felt a sense of anticipation, knowing that this would be a crucial test of my car's performance. We got underway, and everything seemed to be going smoothly, but little did I know that disaster was lurking just around the corner.

As we hit the track, I noticed that our boost leak was still present, which I had been trying to fix for weeks. If only I had found out about it earlier, I might have been able to repair it and potentially achieved an even faster pass. Despite this setback, I pushed on, determined to make the most of the day. We managed a 10-second pass, but I knew that it was barely scraping by - just a 0.1 second over the 9-second mark.

As we continued to run, I started to notice that our power output was being robbed by the boost leak. Even with the boost controller set to 28 psi and announced to 21, our car seemed to be lacking the necessary oomph to reach its full potential. I did some pools on the way home, and I could feel the power coursing through the engine, even if it was being wasted by the leak.

The next day, I decided to run another set of passes, determined to see how our car would perform without the boost leak holding us back. I made a 60-foot pass on the slicks, which was an impressive feat considering this was my first time running with the new tires. The speed was incredible - we managed a 1:66 foot, which is a really good 60-foot for a front-wheel drive car.

As we continued to run, our performance slowly started to degrade. We went from a 1:67 foot to a 1:7 foot, and then to a 1:8 foot, with the speed dropping off dramatically each time. It was clear that our boost leak was causing us to lose power and momentum on the straightaway.

Despite these setbacks, I remained optimistic, knowing that we had the potential to achieve faster times if only we could fix the problem. And then, just as I was about to give up hope, it happened - I managed a 10-second pass, albeit barely scraping by. It was a moment of triumph, and I knew that all our hard work had paid off.

But even with this success, I couldn't shake the feeling that we were still holding back. Our turbo was working overtime to make up for the boost leak, spinning at an incredible pace as it struggled to keep up with the demand for power. And yet, despite this, I knew that we had the potential to do much better.

As I reflected on our performance, I realized just how important it is to have a strong front half. The drag strip is notorious for its ability to separate good cars from great ones, and I knew that if I could get my car's front end working at its best, I would be unstoppable.

For now, though, we'll continue to work on fixing the boost leak and fine-tuning our car's performance. With a new set of slicks in the works and some turbo manifold goodies on the way, I'm confident that we can take our racing to the next level. And who knows - maybe next time, we'll be able to crack that elusive 10-second mark for good.

**Personal Note**

I've been putting a lot of miles on this car lately, and it's definitely taken its toll. Between driving it to the track and back, as well as doing pool after pool, I'm surprised it's still running strong. But despite all the hard work, our car is finally starting to come together, and I couldn't be happier.

I've recently received some goodies in the mail - a turbo manifold kit that promises to take my engine to new heights, as well as some much-needed brakes for my go-cart. It's always exciting to receive new parts and tools, and I know that they'll help me to improve my car's performance even further.

**The 60-Foot: A Key Factor in Drag Racing**

As I reflect on our performance at the track, one thing becomes clear - the 60-foot is a crucial aspect of drag racing. It's the point where your speed and power are most critical, and a good 60-foot can make all the difference between winning and losing.

When running with slicks, I was able to achieve some impressive 60-foot times, even on my first outing. The speed was incredible - we managed to trap just over 130 mph, which is a really good 60-foot for a front-wheel drive car.

In comparison, when I ran on the radials, our performance dropped off dramatically. We were only able to manage around 140 mph, and still couldn't crack that elusive 10-second mark. It's clear that the right tires can make all the difference - and with my new set of slicks in the works, I'm confident that we'll be able to take our racing to the next level.

**The Future of Racing**

As I look to the future of racing, I know that there are still many challenges ahead. We'll continue to work on fixing the boost leak and fine-tuning our car's performance, determined to squeeze out every last bit of speed and power.

With a new turbo manifold kit on its way, I'm excited to see what the future holds for my car. And with some much-needed brakes on the way, I know that we'll be able to push our racing to even greater heights.

It's going to be an exciting ride, full of ups and downs, but with hard work and determination, I know that we'll be unstoppable. Bring it on!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's going on guys so I'm back at the track again with the hatch and if you look right here we got some slicks this time so the goal is to break into the tens so I know you have seen a lot of the hatch recently but I'm just really trying to get that ten-second pass I picked up these slicks yesterday from Emilio his brother actually sold them to me so he's a lot yeah I do actually where's your car at shipped it out already I keep saying it to your car even though it's not yeah yeah he's trying to make it to FL 2k so we'll see what happens there's the got a 19 all right yeah me Leo brought me a jack so I can swap the tags out real quick oh yeah makes it way easier just want to get that ten-second pass should be able to do it yeah we got all the traction now no excuses so I just stopped by PFI before I came up here I have renter my to step back up and we're just gonna get rowdy with it see if we can get that ten second pass see what she does once again I drove the car here no trailer no nothing and I had zero parts or tools so hopefully nothing breaks but me Leo shop is nearby if I do break down and he does have a trailer but we're gonna try to avoid that bit of a fender gap right here because it's an engine yeah better than rubbing it'll go down too much you break down yeah because these are 24 and a half inch tire and the ones I had were 26 inch tall so that's why there's a bit of a gap right here I'm just gonna leave it how many uh gagas was that three please go ahead I'll go I'll get to spec damn wrinkled do those are sick before I got the bike pump out bro all right so we got the slick set to 9 psi and each one we're just gonna try that for the first pass see how she does so I just got to get it in line real quick there's quite a few people here so I'll probably be a good ten minutes before I get my first pass in but I need to get it in line get that 10-second pass God are in line just gotta wait for all these cars to go and then our line will be next and we get that 10-second pass you'll get is gonna happen tens are bust literally at least a ten nine first it yeah I feel like if I get a good launch and I get into every year it should go ten first hit so unless I mess something up because I do have some experience I need to get in we'll see where's the CRX bro where's the CRX I'm the only one racing today everyone everyone left their cars at home or sent them to Florida just came to see the tenseiga Ron first class first back I hope so they're at eight bro double-checking our he's got until tire gauge don't wondered all that he has the nice gauge seven what so we need more that's why you that's why we need you bro I mean sevens good is one's higher than the other but you gotta tell me he's got the bike company I have a bike mount of the Amazon I'll go grab it we have time I'm Randy go be good I ran a seven on Ricky's alright see what they do song is I wanna see what this Lamborghini runs he's gone again society I've seen this Audi it meets before - it has a really big turbo on it howdy did a 12-4 in the Lambo did a 12-6 we are also at altitude so cars do run a little slower up here daata McLaren going against a GTR this one should be interesting honesty how fast that McLaren goes GTR went 11-5 mclaren waited two launches okay 11 - that's fast you ready for this ten-second pass first pass hell yeah yes ten nine first hit with 10 9 and 130 hell yeah broke 10-9 first pass bro all we needed was the slicks hell yeah would you runs it only went 130 though I was expecting like at least 135 still it honestly kind of felt down on power well I'm gonna go chop and see what it logs see how many psi was hidden but do we hit the 10 you know how that feel bro finally so bro way different right well I did actually want to grips oh yeah one six runs good hold on PayPal nine thirteen three all yeah oh this thing's badass go down and help me got that laptop fool yeah you already told Brett yeah what do you say he's all yeah he's all Milan are went down I was like we I want to get it to attend for today that's good pass on superstone we're getting ready to go again so hopefully we can bury it deeper into the tent it was like a little home long it was like yes I'm sorry better time he's got right here this multiplied in her pants in the channel so I just did another pass and that one was an 11-5 I missed 2nd gear pretty bad and we looked at the log again and it did like spike a little bit more boost in between each shift but it still fell back down to like around 19 psi so we tried turning it up just a little more and messed with the feel a little bit and we're back in line and we'll see if we can do another 10-second pass what color green dream yeah Green's go that's the ten-second passes the problem you had it on the red purple having a girl for girl boots here we go there's green he's gonna try and get like 170 or something yeah this Mustangs fast is the same one that we filmed on the dyno and it made over 1,400 and he's turned it up a bit since then April at 164 that's haulin ass 159 was 89 169 oh that was like 164 what's his record 170 103 miles an hour short still 169 holy 84 that's so fast alright guys so that last pass I went 11 6 at 127 each pass since the 10 9 has been slower I'm pretty sure I have a boost leak or something because we've been trying to turn up the boost and if we check the log this is the last run the 11 6 that I just did so we have the computer set up to data log and it like records everything pretty much through the run and like all these spikes are where I'm shifting and you can see right here so the map is the boost how much boost we're hitting and let me see real quick so yeah like this is third I think right through here and it's pretty much carrying 18 psi all through third here and it should be hitting like 21 to 22 so it's definitely down a couple psi comes up to 21 right after I shift but then it falls off to about 18 by the end of the gear which is losing some power yeah by the end of the gear was only 18 psi when it should be like anywhere from 21 to 22 so losing about 3 to 4 psi and each pass it keeps getting worse we keep losing more boost and I think it might be my EGR on the intake I have a gas key right there and it looks like it's blown out a little bit and I think each pass is kind of pushing the gasket out a little more so like I said we've been trying to turn up the boost more on this solenoid so it should be making more and more each pass but it just keeps going down so something's definitely up with the boost it's making its won't power that was the slowest trap out of all the passes so like I said it should be going faster than 130 it should be going at least 135 and up so since I'm coming out of a hole a little faster it might take some mile an hour from the top end but it should still be going a little faster than it is and I can feel the car like I know my car pretty well it's def down on power but this whatever I'll check it out when I get home and maybe have Brent put it back on the dyno and just play with some things and clean it back up but I'm still happy with tonight we got the ten nine which I will show in a bit we just got to get the radials back on which they're helping me with right now and then we'll head out for now only got the three passes in front a night because there was quite a bit of people here for the test in tune so yeah I'm still happy though hit the ten first pass stoked all right got the radios back on got the slicks in the back so we did get the ten nine but it was the first pass didn't run any faster than that I was hoping we could bury it deeper into the tens because it definitely should have the power to do it but not sure why I was low on boost we'll get that figured out and probably bring it back I don't know how many more testing tunes there are gonna be four this year it is starting to get really cold out might start snowing soon being up here in Colorado but if there are a good amount of testing tunes left I might get it figured out and try to bury a deeper into the tens but I'm honestly really happy with that guys so I'll show the slip when I get back when it's not so dark out are we still getting some food all right I'm done yeah thank you guys for all the help to kind of had a little pick for you today the more the moral support yeah I'm so excited I got the ten we barely got it but it's a 10 it's a 10 we got to get a deeper but next time you got got to go deeper bro always Maui yeah we just figure out that boost leak and we had a face splint that training so you shift yeah true I did him a second year that won't pass pretty bad he was longer than you out of it everyone gives me for that in the comments they're like you mean learn how to drive bro my you do when I move you out of it yeah yep yeah Jackie Chan so we're on our way back right now and the hatch definitely has a boost leak I'm not sure if you guys will be able to hear it but I'm in fourth gear right now and when it starts to build boost I can hear like another whistle coming out from inside the engine bay of air definitely escaping from somewhere and it does not build boost nearly as fast as it should it feels like super laggy here I'll do a little full it falls off like really hard so there's definitely a pretty big boosting somewhere for sure you find it yep oh so it was just slowly slipping off each time yeah that's crazy how it's still building boost even with that well yeah it's still like yes all the way off but it is like I am and this one's coming off to look well that one's in there we can back that off of him I guarantee that was slightly off when we first came here - oh it was yeah because it felt underpowered I even said that turned it up and it still was left I bet us turning it up like made that slip out even worse yeah because it kept getting worse each pass kept losing boost so that's it right there it's a so yeah 11 or 7/16 dam coupler was coming off that would have been a 10-5 bro let's go back down I kinda wanna bring the mr2 go maybe I'll bring the mr2 and the hatch will just bring all three bring your ef-2 oh yeah go I go and I'll bring the shopping cart just run them all no yeah 2995 probably need to make that pipe like longer I should extend it like a couple inches yeah I know someone that welds who's that she's guy named Kyle oh she hit him up for me Loreena ten nine with a boost week bro it's the way to do it I knew something was up I even said it felt underpowered dude that poor turbo must have been spooling so hard they're just going balls to the wall oh yeah get her in there oh yeah well that was the whole problem I still need to check this EGR to give that light on that look at this gasket right here you can see the gasket starting to push out right underneath the plate my pot that was it yeah no I'm not gonna get in it on the way home yeah dude now it's set at 28 psi so now it's actually gonna make that yeah you roll well sweet at least we figured that out right away I could hear it dude like I was driving it just found sound like a whistle like it's like just air pouring out of somewhere like a bad leak I knew it was a bad one yeah still went 11 6 with that like that because I didn't make any other boost until just right now on the road so I just made it back in the hatch once again all in one piece nothing broke and we hit a 10-second pass so overall it was a great day if only that if only we found that boost leak earlier on we could have fixed it and possibly went quite a bit faster than a 10-9 because it is barely a 10-second pass but still a 10-second pass either way regardless and I did do some pools on the way home and the power was definitely way back up for sure I couldn't even floor it all the way because we have the boost controller set to 28 psi announced to the 21 so I doubt this thing would have the fuel to do that if I stayed in it but that boost leak was definitely robbing a lot of power for sure and even on the way back he only get my light on my cell phone even after we just tightened it down just from doing a couple pulls on the way home it was starting to come loose again so right on the backside you can see the coupler starting to slip off right there so it's kind of hard to see but it's about to pop off again so I really do need to add some tubing to the end of this intercooler pipe right there to make it just a little bit longer so that clamp has something to grab onto but if we found out about that earlier on I'm sure we could have got a much better pass even when I did run the ten-second pass I even said that it felt a little underpowered only trapped 130 and I mean this car should be going at least 135 and up with a good pass like that and then you can even see so these are all the three passes that I got this was the ten nine this was the first one this was the second pass and then this was the third all the way across tis just slowly drop in power because that coupler was coming off more and more and it was slowly losing boost so the very first pass went 10 9 at 1:30 the next one went 11-5 and 1:28 and then the last one went 11 6 at 1:27 the Milan hours just slowly dropping even the 60-foot all the way across the first one I did a 1 660 foot on the slicks which is a really good 60 foot if I could do that every time I be super happy that's a really good 60 foot for a front-wheel drive then it went to a 1 7 then I went to a 1 8 and you know same thing goes across with everything even the mile an hour and the 8th went from 103 to a hundred to 98 so it's just slowly losing boost each pass I'm really glad I got that 10 9 on the first pass because if I did not get that 10 second pass and we never found out about that intercooler boot coming off then there's no way I would have been able to run faster with the boost just dropping off as hard as it was and that also means the turbo is probably working extra hard to make up for that boost it was spinning way faster than it needed to be in making up for all the extra air that was just being pushed out but I do have it fixed now and I'm sure I will take it back at some point I've been beating on this car really hard I mean I drove it an hour there I were back and just doing pool after pool this motor has definitely been through a lot within the last few months that I've had it put together for sure but it's still going strong and now that I have my own set of slicks that are still in the back I can take it to the track and have that much better 60-foot every every single 60-foot was under two seconds on the slicks the slicks make it way different so as you guys can even tell I was only going 130 still went ten nine and on the radials I was trapping close to 140 but still couldn't crack a ten-second pass it just shows how important the front half is on the drag strip but like I said have my own slicks now so I'm sure I'll be going back at some point I'm just happy the cars all together finally got that 10-second pass and I'm sure I will be going back for more later on but that's pretty much gonna be it for tonight guys as always I hoped you enjoyed and I can show a couple of goodies I got in the mail got some stuff coming along for the wag out here pretty soon some turbo manifold stuff and I also got some breaks for the go-cart so much-needed breaks finally can have a way to stop this sketchy thing but yeah that's gonna be it for tonight guys so thanks for watchingwhat's going on guys so I'm back at the track again with the hatch and if you look right here we got some slicks this time so the goal is to break into the tens so I know you have seen a lot of the hatch recently but I'm just really trying to get that ten-second pass I picked up these slicks yesterday from Emilio his brother actually sold them to me so he's a lot yeah I do actually where's your car at shipped it out already I keep saying it to your car even though it's not yeah yeah he's trying to make it to FL 2k so we'll see what happens there's the got a 19

found sound like a whistle like it's like just air pouring out of somewhere like a bad leak I knew it was a bad one yeah still went 11 6 with that like that because I didn't make any other boost until just right now on the road so I just made it back in the hatch once again all in one piece nothing broke and we hit a 10-second pass so overall it was a great day if only that if only we found that boost leak earlier on we could have fixed it and possibly went quite a bit faster than a 10-9 because it is barely a 10-second pass but still a 10-second pass either way regardless and I did do some pools on the way home and the power was definitely way back up for sure I couldn't even floor it all the way because we have the boost controller set to 28 psi announced to the 21 so I doubt this thing would have the fuel to do that if I stayed in it but that boost leak was definitely robbing a lot of power for sure and even on the way back he only get my light on my cell phone even after we just tightened it down just from doing a couple pulls on the way home it was starting to come loose again so right on the backside you can see the coupler starting to slip off right there so it's kind of hard to see but it's about to pop off again so I really do need to add some tubing to the end of this intercooler pipe right there to make it just a little bit longer so that clamp has something to grab onto but if we found out about that earlier on I'm sure we could have got a much better pass even when I did run the ten-second pass I even said that it felt a little underpowered only trapped 130 and I mean this car should be going at least 135 and up with a good pass like that and then you can even see so these are all the three passes that I got this was the ten nine this was the first one this was the second pass and then this was the third all the way across tis just slowly drop in power because that coupler was coming off more and more and it was slowly losing boost so the very first pass went 10 9 at 1:30 the next one went 11-5 and 1:28 and then the last one went 11 6 at 1:27 the Milan hours just slowly dropping even the 60-foot all the way across the first one I did a 1 660 foot on the slicks which is a really good 60 foot if I could do that every time I be super happy that's a really good 60 foot for a front-wheel drive then it went to a 1 7 then I went to a 1 8 and you know same thing goes across with everything even the mile an hour and the 8th went from 103 to a hundred to 98 so it's just slowly losing boost each pass I'm really glad I got that 10 9 on the first pass because if I did not get that 10 second pass and we never found out about that intercooler boot coming off then there's no way I would have been able to run faster with the boost just dropping off as hard as it was and that also means the turbo is probably working extra hard to make up for that boost it was spinning way faster than it needed to be in making up for all the extra air that was just being pushed out but I do have it fixed now and I'm sure I will take it back at some point I've been beating on this car really hard I mean I drove it an hour there I were back and just doing pool after pool this motor has definitely been through a lot within the last few months that I've had it put together for sure but it's still going strong and now that I have my own set of slicks that are still in the back I can take it to the track and have that much better 60-foot every every single 60-foot was under two seconds on the slicks the slicks make it way different so as you guys can even tell I was only going 130 still went ten nine and on the radials I was trapping close to 140 but still couldn't crack a ten-second pass it just shows how important the front half is on the drag strip but like I said have my own slicks now so I'm sure I'll be going back at some point I'm just happy the cars all together finally got that 10-second pass and I'm sure I will be going back for more later on but that's pretty much gonna be it for tonight guys as always I hoped you enjoyed and I can show a couple of goodies I got in the mail got some stuff coming along for the wag out here pretty soon some turbo manifold stuff and I also got some breaks for the go-cart so much-needed breaks finally can have a way to stop this sketchy thing but yeah that's gonna be it for tonight guys so thanks for watching\n"
